Thoughts on Today's Team
1: Mark Hughes
Safe as houses at the back, and whilst he offered nothing in attack, he was one of our better players
2: Trent Salkeld
Will probably be remembered more for his late drop than for his try-scoring efforts. Continues to fit right into the team, but is a little defensively weak.
3: Matt Gidley
Scored a cracker of a try at the start of the match, but was pretty quiet after that.
4: George Carmont
Was our weak point in defence, and I dread to think what would have happened if he'd had to mark Utai rather than El Masri.
5: Bradley Tighe
I didn't see him all game, and that includes in defence. Should be in the centres.
6: Kurt Gidley
Wasn't at his best, and maybe that's because he was trying to shoulder a lot of the burden. Defended well, but wasn't so good in attack.
7: Steve Witt
Certainly silenced a few critics with perhaps his best ever first grade game. Had some good kicks (some bad ones too) and looked slick with the ball in hand.
8: Craig Smith
Was outshone a little by Adam Woolnough from the bench, but reliable as usual.
9: Danny Buderus
If he's capable, Bedsy should be playing the full eighty minutes. We lost a lot of direction when he was off the park. A damn good game.
10: Daniel Tolar
Was quiet, but our midfield defence was good, so he can take a lot of credit for that.
11: Steve Simpson
One of our best, continually made good metres and tackled well.
12: Reegan Tanner
Good, workmanlike performance.
13: Kirk Reynoldson
Must be put in the back row from now on, after playing easily his finest game in the red and blue.
14: Matt Kennedy
Didn't really see him do much, but as with Tolar, he was involved in our better than average midfield defence.
15: Adam Woolnough
Solid return from injury. Should start alongside Smith next week
16: Luke Quigley
A waste of a bench spot. If Buderus can play the full game, I'd rather see another forward here.
17: Blake Mueller
Another workman, and he did his job well.
